MAP3K13 mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 13

Gene ID: 9175, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: LZK; MLK; MEKK13

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of serine/threonine protein kinase family. This kinase contains a dual leucine-zipper motif, and has been shown to form dimers/oligomers through its leucine-zipper motif. This kinase can phosphorylate and activate MAPK8/JNK, MAP2K7/MKK7, which suggests a role in the JNK signaling pathway. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
